Carolina Roots MusicFest

Carolina Roots MusicFest is a 2-day celebration of Americana fused music held in Statesville, North Carolina the weekend of May 19-20, 2017. Festival guests will experience diverse indie expressions of national and regional artists invited to perform their progressive styles of Appalachia-influenced Folk, savory Rhythm & Blues, foot stompin Bluegrass and alternative Country & Rock on 2 open air stages!

Carolina Roots MusicFest is held in an intimate grass field with ample general parking and camping areas just a short walk from the admission gate. Festival goers are welcome to bring lawn chairs, blankets and sunbrellas to relax and bask in our beautiful Carolina spring weather - a wonderful backdrop to enjoy all the nuances of Carolina Roots MusicFest. Large sunbrellas and 10x10 pop ups are permitted inside the venue to set up in a designated area.

On Saturday, guests may complement their music experience with robust flavors of handcrafted beer, mead, hard cider and wine in the Hops Garden. The Destination Magazine sponsors this featured area and has selected six participating North Carolina breweries to offer an array of medal winning libations to enjoy. VIP Tasting tickets will be available to purchase in advance early March. Tasting tickets and single cups are available to purchase on Saturday, day of event. ​Another Wine & Beer Tent will also be open both days at Carolina Roots MusicFest.

For outdoor enthusiasts, weekend Tent and RV campsites are offered on site, next to the festival venue. Campers are encouraged to bring outdoor games, instruments for campsite jam sessions in the glow of evening campfires!

A variety of food trucks, an Artisan Village and outdoor activities are in the plans for guests to experience a laid back social environment with other like-minded music and outdoor lovers.
